[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

In Danish we only use the word 'otium' in relation to describing 'a pleasant retirement', but interestingly enough you have a much broader usage of it in English, including that of 'spare time' generally. One would have expected a practically identical meaning ...
Not only in Danish, it's exactly what it means in Latin - for Latin it is (most English being just a pidgin Latin only half understood by those speaking it themselves)  :D

... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Thanks, there were some longish explanations about the Latin meaning, but I skipped them.
